Narrative intelligence for the inclusive finance sector:
Examining how institutions structure equity, legitimacy, and outcomes through story.

UpThink Strategic Communications is now The UpThink Narrative Initiative
I’m currently updating this site to reflect a transition from strategic communications to systems-focused narrative transformation. I no longer accept general communications consulting or content creation projects through this platform.
My work now centers on narrative transformation within inclusive finance—producing scholarly writing and research that interrogates how stories shape legitimacy, influence decisions, and determine who thrives.
I collaborate with researchers and mission-aligned institutions committed to advancing equity through rigorous, justice-oriented narrative inquiry.
I’ll return with:
- A sharper voice.
- A deeper vision.
- And stories that move systems.
📬 In the meantime, I welcome email inquiries about potential collaborations focused on scholarly writing and long-form research.
Thank you for your patience—and for recognizing that narrative is infrastructure.
